About Me

I am me.
I'm ready for spring.

My Interests

Writing.
Reading.
The Great Outdoors.

I'd like to meet:

Dorothy Parker.

Music:

I prefer acoustic folk-type stuff most of the time - anything from Ani Difranco to Tempest. I also like Dead Can Dance, Loreena McKennitt, Fleetwood Mac, a lot of what is considered "classic rock" I guess (i.e. the tuner in my truck stays on 96.3 most of the time), celtic, traditional stuff where people really know how to play their instruments....and then there's the random Tool or Helmet album in there somewhere, some Doors maybe...and a dab of Sugarloaf ("green-eyed lady" is probably in my top five fovorite songs of all time). I enjoy going to the Focal Point for shows, and the Sheldon when I can afford it. I do have my rock 'n roll psychobilly streaks, though, during which I can be spotted wherever our local 7 Shot Screamers are playing...always a good time.

Movies:

a PARTIAL listing would have to include:
Labyrinth, Return to Oz, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Lady Vanishing, The Princess Bride, Army of Darkness...this is impossible. There are too many. Moving on...

Television:

Trailer Park Boys (Canadian)
Deadwood.
All else is trash.

Books:

Lots of 'em.

Heroes:

Joseph Campbell. Mark Twain. Dorothy Parker.

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor

So, there's been a lot of shit going on lately.  Two more days of an ass-whooping antibiotic and my strep should be done...I hope.  I got promoted at work - which is awsome - but it als...
